All the Grinchmas-Themed Foods and Drinks at Universal Studios Hollywood
Holiday menus tend to follow familiar patterns like peppermint sweets, gingerbread pastries, and the occasional cranberry option. Universal Studios Hollywood takes a different approach. Each winter, the park introduces Grinchmas with dishes that lean into bright colors, big portions, and a playful sense of creativity.
Grinchmas runs through January 4, and this year’s offerings continue that tradition. The menu brings together festive flavors, unexpected combinations, and a few items that are truly made for sharing. If you’re planning a visit, here’s a look at the full range of food and drinks available during Grinchmas 2025.
